Achieving the Agility to Meet Today’sManufacturing Demands

Wonderware understands that,in order to win in the21st Century,high-performance organizations must move quickly.They must reformulate their business and manufacturing operations and focus on strengthening their corporate brand image,leveraging their intellectual capacity and maximizing their overall capabilities.To be successful in manufacturing today,you need more than individual automation solutions,historians or manufacturing execution systems (MES).These traditional information technology approaches support production and manufacturing processes,but alone they don’t support the needs of your overall enterprise.Facing new challenges and sustaining profitabilityrequires an innovative approach that balances:Greater visibility and true understanding ofactual production capacity for predictable order fulfillment,flexibility and responsiveness across the entire operations management environment, including across multiple plants or facilities;andReduction of production costs while also improving quality.Too often today’s investments in production systemsare driven only by the requirements of the next project.High-performance organizations adopt a wider-ranging outlook where investment and technology choices are driven by a desire to accommodate evolving requirements over time – because you need the agility to adapt to whatever your actual requirements will be in the future. It is vital that each component within the enterprise is accurately represented by the systems used to support operational activities.This challenges your production IT strategy to:Develop standard templates for manufacturingand general operational practices that closely align with actual business requirements and build on existing core competencies Maintain and evolve these practices,propagatingthem across multiple plants and facilitiesAddress the variable size,topologies and vintageof systems in each facility,while providing a holistic view of the entire operation andPrioritize current requirements to make small,incremental investments with visible returns that at the same time increase the possibilities of leveraging earlier investments in the futureAs your understanding of your processes and what ittakes to continuously improve operations grows,so do your actual requirements.Wonderware software solutions for manufacturing execution systems (MES)and enterprise manufacturing intelligence (EMI) enableincremental,low-risk deployment of increasedapplication functionality,one step at a time.
